Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Deluxe Set
Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Deluxe Set includes 7 tips in US sizes 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10 1/2, and 11. They have a cuboid shape in the body of the needle that gradually gives way to perfectly tapered birch wood points. The ergonomic shape is comfortable to hold, lessens the need to grip tightly, and yields uniform stitch formation. The densified, laminated wood is rich in appearance, yet it is also lightweight, strong, flexible, and warm to the touch. Needle size is measured diagonally and fits into standard needle sizer just like round needles. It also inclueds 4 cords (1 - 24", 2 - 32", 1 - 40") 1 set of size markers, 4 end caps, 4 cord keys. It's best to tighten your needles by holding the base. Click here to see how it's done.
WEBS cannot verify or guarantee that any other company’s needles or cords will work with Knitter’s Pride needles. But if you’ve purchased a Knitter’s Pride product from us, we guarantee the product 100% with our no-questions-asked replacement policy.

For some reason I was resistant to buying circular needle sets in the past. Then, as connectors broke and needles were lost I revisited the idea of an interchangeable solution, particularly for travel. The Cubic's novel shape and wood construction eventually made me decide to give them a try. In the end, I'm glad I took the plunge!
I was surprised at the overall lightness of these needles. Their metal connectors, however, have more than adequate threading for a truly solid join. The black cords are also ultra thin yet super strong. All in all, it's a very attractive yet functional design.
The included needle sizes make good sense and the chosen cable lengths suit me perfectly. The accessories are nice and the storage case is both functional and compact.
I find the cubic needle shape easy to manipulate and the wooden tips warm to the touch. A fully assembled needle is about as light as it gets, in my experience. With arthritic hands these are hot selling features!
I therefore had no choice but to buy the shorter set of needles, as well. With smaller circular work, such as sleeves, the shorter tip length makes better sense.
With both Cubics sets on hand I'm ready now for all my seamless sweater projects. The cost does not seem unduly prohibitive to me and should easily fall within the range of gift giving. So, I'd suggest you either gift yourself a set or drop the hint. This is truly a novel design which I highly recommend for your consideration!

I was excited about ordering because I love the cubic needles, and the interchangeables was my attempt to cut down on all the crazy needles in my studio. Unfortunately, the needle broke in half on first use and I assempled it correctly and am not a tense knitter. Overall, I love the concept but would advise others to be very gentle with these fragile needles. I would love to see a set of metal cubic interchangeables.

- Easier on hands
- What A Great Set
Cons
Best Uses
Comments about Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Deluxe Set:
I'm finding square needles very helpful, both because they are easier on my hands (tendonitis in wrists) and they make picking up stitches much easier when using a friable yarn such as Homespun.

The square shape of the needle is supposed to be easier to hold and creates less tension in hands and shoulders. i would say this is true for me.

Comments about Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Deluxe Set:
Due to pain in hands, arms, and shoulders I am learning to knit Continental style. The cubics are easier on my hands, and have helped me with beautiful even stitches while learning the Continental knitting style. Love them. Would highly recommend them. They feel somewhat delicate, and I am slightly concerned they could break, but have been assured they would be replaced if that were the case.

Comments about Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Deluxe Set:
I never would have imagined how fragile these needles are! 3 needles broke before I finished my first project! Plus the cables loosen frequently during knitting - very irritating. They look pretty in the case, just not very practical or functional.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Pros
- Nice looking
- No Stress On Fingers
Cons
- Needle Is Easily Loosed
- Wire Comes Out Of Needle
Best Uses
Comments about Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Deluxe Set:
The needles are nice looking and ergonomic;however, they always become unscrewed. I screw the wires on and tighten them and they continue to become unscrewed when I knit. Also, the wire seem to always become unattached while knitting and it becomes a mess. I wasted over 100.00 buying two sets of these needles. I wish I could return them.
Pros
- Hands Hurt Less
Cons
- I Would Have Liked A Long
- Unscrews Every Few Rows
Best Uses
Comments about Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Deluxe Set:
You have to check the needles' connection constantly, otherwise I like them.

Cons
Best Uses

Comments about Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Deluxe Set:
Easy on the hands and you couldn't ask for better lace needles.
Comments about Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Deluxe Set:
Received this set as a gift. Casting on with first use, #6 needle snapped at the connection. Needless to say I'm disappointed. I do not have a rough hand. I wondered why these needles weren't available in smaller sizes - is it the fragility at smaller diameter? Otherwise, the cords are good and the feel of the needles is great.
Pros
- I Love The Square Needles
- The Points Are Just Right
Cons
- One Of The Size 8 Needles
- Rough Place In One Sz8 N
- Rough Spot On One Sz 11
Best Uses
- Lace
- Magic loop
Comments about Knitter's Pride Cubics Interchangeable Circular Deluxe Set:
the needles feel nice in the hands and doesn't slip out of the stitches. the points are perfect, but some of the needles are rough for about a half inch where the metal has been connected which makes it hard to push the stitches on to the needles from the cord.
